what a cool shot S – and what is going on in that background? was this a moving shot – well I feel so much good tension with the photo – like with her stillness – and the cool costume – but then her collar is showing and we see a touch of her colored skin – which hints of the real person here… and the item to the left of the box – and then what is that she is standing on. sorry – but when I saw the small image I thought how calm and quieting for a worlds wednesday – but then the larger version had all this layers of tasty things – very cool shot….

Thanks, Jill. These street artists usually stand on a box. Her purse and other belongings would be safe inside it. We were warned by our guide that a gang of pickpockets operate around the cathedral square. 😦
